Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's scene lies in an area of anti-bifurcation in a half-morphed minibrot on a filament in the East Valley of a larger minibrot on a filament extending from a small period-7 bud on the northeast shore line of the parent fractal, which is a Mandelbrot set corrupted by Z^33 energies.  The magnitude of the image is well beyond the point where the corruption of the minibrots is complete, though quadratic tendencies still exist in the outer parts of the scene.

I named the image "The 33rd Degree" because of the Z^33 energies flowing through it.  The art value of 7 was earned by the coloring work.  The math value of 5 is average.  We have been here quite a few times before.

The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes might be a bit too much time to spend on the image.  Viewing the image instantly on the web sites can help the situation however.

The day began cloudy.  Light snow began at 8am and turned heavy by 11am.  It continued heavy until 2pm, when it came to a sudden stop, leaving a total accumulation of 4-1/2 inches or 11cm on the fractal sidewalk.  With a temperature of 16F -9C, the snow was so fluffy that it could be cleared away with a broom.  The fractal cats, always curious, wondered what all the stuff falling from the sky was about.  The fractal humans had another typical day, the biggest chores being clearing snow and making coffee.

The next FOTD will be posted in the near future.  Until whenever that might be, take care, and when we get to heaven, how long will we be able to endure its eternal bliss without becoming unbearably bored?
